Thunder vs. Trail Blazers Prediction:
Take the Thunder to cover the 12.5 point spread on the road on Sunday. Oklahoma City will look to get back on track after their second loss to the Mavericks in 4 games. Their last game was on Thursday night and they are 27-15-3 ATS with the rest advantage. Portland has won and covered in 4 straight games however only one of those 4 teams currently has a winning record (Orlando 24-23). Three of those four teams sit in the bottom third of the league in points per game scored. Portland has the 22nd ranked defense allowing 115.2 points per game, and on their home court, they allow 120.2 points per game. On the other hand, the Thunder rank top of the league allowing just 104.1 points per game. They also rank 9th in points per game scored. Portland has played well lately but I think they get dominated by a far superior opponent in a bounce back spot on Sunday.
Thunder vs. Trail Blazers Prediction: Thunder -12.5
